The
elevator ride seemed to take longer than necessary and Jack's
proximity and persistent gaze had her turning towards him, with a not
so shy smile on her lips.

"Doctor?"
Jeremy addressed him, arching an eyebrow, the smile never leaving her
mouth.

"Just
looking" Jack replied with a smirk.

She
shrugged and looked ahead, pretending not to feel the effect of
having him looking at her like that.

"Thanks
for your help today" Jack said, not moving from his spot.

Jeremy
looked back at him "I was just doing my job" was her sincere
reply.

They
fell into a comfortable silence until there was a loud noise and they
stopped moving. The emergency light was switched on above their
heads.

"What
the hell…" Jack muttered to himself.

Jeremy
sighed heavily, taking off her bonnet "Don't worry, it's
happened this week" she said with a sigh "It should be solved
soon"

The
silence this time wasn't that comfortable anymore. Jeremy noticed
how Jack's body tensed ever so slightly before he shifted his gaze
back to her.

"Just
try imagining something distracting" she offered reassuringly.

Jack
tilted his head to the side and let his gaze wander up and down her
body without hurry, a smile slowly forming on his lips. He didn't
have to concentrate very hard having her right there.

Jeremy
looked at him in amusement and shook her head slowly.
Unceremoniously, he continued his scrutiny, taking his time to take
on every little detail; from the long legs, her waist, to the perfect
face. It'd be an understatement if he admitted being attracted to
her. Even if she was wearing too many clothes, Jack agreed with every
word said by all the male doctors – including himself. Doctor
Jeremy Hanlon was amazing to stare at and he caught himself wondering
what it'd be like to do more than just look.

"So…what
are you doing tonight?" Jack asked casually.

"Apparently"
Jeremy trailed off "I'm keeping you company" she said with a
smile.

Jeremy
looked at Jack and he held her gaze, momentarily entranced by her
emerald eyes. He'd never paid much attention to her eyes, being
much distracted by all the rest, but the mischief in them was at the
very least really promising.

He
lowered his gaze to her mouth "You ever noticed there's no camera
here?" he asked, not really caring about being subtle. After all,
he'd tried subtle before and it didn't work, not at all.

Jeremy
looked around for a moment and then shifted her gaze back to him "You
have a vivid imagination, don't you?" she asked, lowering her
voice, eyes twinkling.

Jack
took a step forward, standing closer to her "Not as much as I wish"
he replied thoughtfully.

The
sound made by the elevator as it returned to life didn't seem to
affect them, even though they were too aware of it.

"We
started off on the wrong foot that night" he said quietly.

Jeremy
turned her body so that they were facing each other and slowly pulled
him closer by the lapels of his overcoat.With
faces only inches apart, she looked deep into his eyes.

"Maybe
because you were so worried about being nice" she said softly,
making her breath tickle his mouth "that it got boring, so boring
we were both frustrated"

Jack
searched his temporarily inactive brain for a wit reply but he was
far too distracted already. The attraction had always been there but
purely platonic. He didn't know what was holding him back but he
suspected it had something to do with seeing just how further she'd
go before stopping.

"I'm
a big girl, don't worry about being decent" she whispered.

Jack
couldn't help but grin at her and Jeremy would have kissed him if
she wasn't enjoying it so much. Smiling wickedly, she leaned closer
till the tips of their noses were touching. She could feel his hot
breath, the heat coming from him, his chest against hers. She moved
her head to the side and took his earlobe between her lips, allowing
her tongue to play with it before biting gently.

A
low moan escaped his mouth and she knew he was where she wanted him.
In a second he had her pinned against the back wall, his eyes
darkening as he looked at her.

"That
date wouldn't have 'failed miserably' if it had ended like
this" she said quietly, teasing him, as she remembered his exact
words.

Right
then there was a ding and the doors slid open. Jack let her go
reluctantly.

"And
I thought you were a good girl, Hanlon" he said, as she spared him
a last glance.

The
comment brought a smile to her face, one he considered very
seductive. It soon became mischievous, just like the glint in her
eyes.

"I
am not" she whispered and walked away.

"Where
you going?" Jack called after Jeremy, following her.

She
turned around and met his eyes "Night, Jack" she said with a wink
and a wide, self-satisfied smirk on her face.

He
watched her retreating form, this time not caring that she knew he
was checking her out. If he'd been interested before, now he was a
man in a mission.
